Parking Ramp Project Delayed Again

A Dubuque parking ramp project is being delayed for a second time. Tonight, the Dubuque City Council is expected to vote on a proposed amendment to the city’s development agreement with Roshek Property LLC; Cottingham & Butler; and HTLF to extend the completion deadline for the 500-space parking facility from Dec. 31, 2023 to Dec. 31, 2024. Approval of the amendment is recommended by City Manager Mike Van Milligen. Van Milligen says the proposed additional delay is prompted by the decline in downtown parking demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. At the moment, he said, there is no need for additional parking downtown.
